    Credit Notes

    A source document that verifies the return of stock by either a trade creditor or by a tradedebtor (Reliability)

    It provides evidence that a debt owed to a creditor (Purchase Return) or by a debtor (SalesReturn) has been reduced by the amount of the return

    How to Distinguish :

    The suppliers name is always at the TOP Apurchase returns credit note has our name in the body (middle) of the credit note, we are

    returning stock to the supplier. A sales return has our business name at the top of the credit note- we are receiving the

    being stock in return.

    Reporting Sales Returns separately

    Relevance Provides information useful for decision making Provides additional information for management in relation to customer satisfaction Indicator of the quality and suitability of the stock that is being traded

    Product and Period Costing

    Costs associated with getting the goods into alocation and condition ready for sale

    Costs associated with getting the goods into alocation and condition ready for sale

    Costs can be allocated to individual items of

    stock on a logical basis

    Costs cannot be allocated to individual items of

    stock on a logical basis (as they relate to more

    than one item of stock) e.g. shipment for ALL

    stock

    Included in the calculation of cost of sales

    allocated per item of stock sold

    Period costs written off as buying expense for

    the reporting period under Cost of Goods Sold

    If not all goods are sold in this Reporting Period

    Costs of Goods Sold will be lower and Gross

    Profit and Net profit will be higher as the

    additional costs are allocated only to the units ofstock sold

    If not all goods are sold this reporting period

    Cost of Goods Sold will be higher and Gross

    Profit and Net Profit will be lower as the

    additional costs are treated as expenses in theperiod in which they were incurred regardless of

    the number of units sold

    Higher (accurate)

    Effect on Stock Control in the Balance sheet

    Lower (understated)

    IF ALL STOCK IS SOLD IN THE ONE REPORTING PERIODN THE EFFECT ON NET PROFIT WILL BE

    EXACTLY THE SAME

    Relevance when a cost is significant that it affects financial decision-making then it should be

    considered material and should be reported

    Issues : Product costs

    There is no 10% rule to materiality and therefore relevance

    Items to be allocated as product costs must be incurred in the purchase of stock items That is they must be logically traceable to stock items and be able to be allocated on a

    logical basis

    They must also be materially significant in terms of their dollar value The question of materiality is whether the omission of an item would affect management

    decision making Potential Discuss Question

    Insurance of Stock

    Would usually be classified as a period cost as it does not usually relate to a specific numberof goods

    However, if it isrelated to a particular delivery in transit it may well be treated as a productcost

    Classification on the income statemento If incurred in purchasing the stock or in the delivery of stock to the shop it should be

    treated as a cost of goods sold item (product/period cost)

    Prepaid Revenue

    This is revenue received in advance or revenue received but not yet earned. Thebusiness must determine what part of the revenue received has been earned and

    therefore must be reported in the current reporting period.

    Two possible scenarios:

    1) Customer orders stock to be delivered at some time in the future. Customer maypay a deposit at the time of ordering or pay in full. Some or all stock is delivered

    before the end of the reporting period

    2) The business earns revenue from a secondary source, such as Rent, and thisrevenue is paid in advance

    DR Prepaid sales revenue CR Sales Revenue

    Accrued Revenue

    Revenue that the business has earned but not yet received. As a result, there is an Assetcreated because there is an expected inflow of economic benefit at some point in the future.

    It excludes credit sales and involves a secondary revenue source, usually interest.

    DR Accrued Interest Revenue CR Interest Revenue

    Disposal of non-current assets

    Recording this type of transaction can be quite complex. You may be asked to:

    1) Record the depreciation allocated to this asset for the period prior to the saleDR Depreciation of Shop Equipment

    2) The next step is to remove the asset from the businessDR Disposal of Shop Equipment

    Will occur because the amount received from the sale is different from the carryingvalue

    Means the asset has been over or under-depreciatedOver-depreciation occurs when:

    A profit on disposal occurs Useful life was underestimated Residual value was underestimated

    Under-depreciation occurs when:

    A loss on disposal occurs Useful life was overestimated Residual value was overestimated

    Depreciation is based on estimates and so is generally inaccurate and a profit or loss will eventuate

    Budgeting

    Budgeting is the process of predicting the financial consequences of future events, a budgetis the REPORT that predicts such things

    Budgeted Reports

    Budgeted Cash Flow statement shows all expected future cash inflows and outflows, andthe expected bank balance at the end of the period

    Budgeted Income Statement shows all expected future revenues and expenses, and theexpected Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit and Net profit

    Budged Balance Sheet 0 shows all expected assets, liabilities and owners equity at somepoint in the future

    Budgets vs actual reports

    Budgets report future events rather than historical events. Budgets use estimates; no verifiable data

    Importance of Budgeted Sales

    Main revenue item in Budgeted Income Statement and significant cash Inflow (either as cashsales or receipts from debtors)

    Level of sales crucial in estimating expenses that vary with number of units sold such as costof sales, wages

    Affect how much stock is purchases, payments to creditors Balance sheet- Bank balance and Net Profit figure

    Purpose of budgeting

    Aid planningo Budgeting assists planning by predicting what is likely to occur in the future. This

    allows the owner to prepare so that possible problems may be managed and

    possible opportunities may be taken

    Aids decision makingo Budgeting can aid decision-making by providing a standard against which actual

    performance can be measured against. This allows the owner to identify problemareas and remedial action can be taken. Includes budgeted ratios.

    Analysis

    Analysing the performance of a business is more than looking at the final bank figure or the

    $ amount of Profit or Loss made by the business.

    A raw number does not mean a lot unless we can use that number for analysis or comparison.

    In Unit 4, financial reports are analysed using a number of performance indicators or financial ratios.

    These ratios assess the business performance in terms of:

    1) Profitability the ability of the business to earn profit, measured by comparing its profitagainst a base such as sales, assets or owners equity

    2) Efficiency the ability of the business to manage its assets and liabilities3) Stability the ability of the business to meet its debts and continue its operations in the long

    term

    4)

    Liquidity the ability of the business to meet its short-term debts as they fall due

    Profitability

    Profitability is a measure of how the business has performed in terms of returning a profit compared

    to a base such as assets, sales and owners equity. There are four financial ratios associated with

    Profitability.

    Return on Owners investment (ROI)

    %

    Return on Owners investment measures the return or money back the owner has received on

    his/her investment in the business. In the real world a person has many alternative investments

    available to them invest in shares, deposit their money in a high interest account, purchase

    property. All of these investments provide a return dividend, interest or rent. Each investment has

    its rewards and risks.

    An owner of a business hopes to be rewarded for their investment of time (working hours), money

    (capital), expertise and what they have given up to operate the business (previous job, savings).

    A profitability indicator that measures how effectively a business has used the ownerscapital to earn profit

    Profit earned per dollar of capital invested Used to decide between alternative investments Benchmarks: past performance, budgeted goals, industry average Assesses profitability from an investors point of view Linked to Debt Ratio

    14 | P a g e - A c c o u n t i n g U n i t 4 - W i l b u r

    Return on Assets (ROA)

    %

    Return on Assets is designed to measure how well the assets of the business are generating revenue

    and hence, profit. The Equipment, Stock, Office Furniture, Vehicle, etc. all contribute to the business

    earning revenue.

    As the assets age they become more inefficient, breaking down more and hence earn less revenue

    for the business. This ratio helps an owner determine if the assets of the business are getting to the

    point where they may need replacing.

    A profitability indicator that measures how effectively a business has used its assets to earnprofit

    Net Profit per dollar of assets controlled by the business Assesses profitability from a managers point of view Will always be lower than ROI because Total assets are greater than Owners equity, unless

    it has 0 liabilities

    Depends heavily on firms ability to earn revenue and control its expenses (Net Profit)

    Net Profit Margin (NPR)

    %

    When an owner determines selling price for their product they must consider:

    What did the product cost the business? What price are my competitors charging? Will my selling price allow me to make a profit?

    This ratio determines how much (in % or $ terms) profit is made for each $ of sales

    Good indicator of expense controlGross Profit Margin (GPR)

    %

    In the same manner, Gross Profit examines the profit made on just the buying and selling of stockthe mark-up.

    A business can use this ratio to determine if stock expenses Freight, Insurance, Cartage, etc are

    costing the business too much and affecting the ability of the business to make an overall Net Profit

    Assess mark-up Increasing selling price may decrease sales, therefore GPM may increase but $GP decrease due

    to less sales

    Cheaper supplier may decrease sales due to poor quality or increase in sales returns

    Efficiency

    Efficiency measures examine how well a business is managing key items such as Debtors, Creditors,

    Stock and Assets. Key questions about each of these items need to be answered:

    1) How quickly do our Debtors pay?2) Is our stock staying on the shelves too long?3) Are we paying our Creditors too quickly?

    There are 4 primary measures of efficiency:

    Debtors Turnover (DTO)

    number of days

    It is important for a business to know how long it takes for Debtors to pay. Debtors are a major

    source of cash and the cash received is used to pay Creditors and purchase stock. All Debtors areoffered terms so it is important to know if our Debtors are meeting those terms and if not, what

    corrective action needs to be taken by the business.

    Average number of days it takes a business to collect cash from its Debtors If cash is collected quickly, it can be used to meet other debts as they fall due Look at credit terms

    Asset Turnover (ATO)

    times per period

    Asset Turnover is more complex it examines whether the business is using its assets efficiently togenerate sales. It also allows the owner to evaluate whether the purchase of a new asset has

    improved performance.

    An efficiency indicator that measures how productively a business has used its assets to earnrevenue

    Measures number of times in a period the value of assets is earned as Sales Revenue; thehigher the Asset Turnover, the more capable the firm is of using its assets to earn revenue

    ATO vs ROA; higher ATO does not equal higher ROA, think expensesStock Turnover (STO)

    number of days

    The selling of stock is the major source of revenue for a business. It is also a cost to the business.

    Therefore careful management of stock is important. A business cant hold too little or too much

    stock. Each situation can cause problems for the business:

    *Too much stock can mean stock becomes out-dated, obsolete, and increases storage and insurance

    costs

    *Too little stock may see the business run out and miss sales; the business is continually ordering

    stock leading to an increase in expenses such as Delivery and Customs Duty; missing out on discount

    revenue from bulk purchases

  • 7/29/2019 AccountingUnit 4 Summary

    16/24

    16 | P a g e - A c c o u n t i n g U n i t 4 - W i l b u r

    Optimal Stock Turnover rates will differ according to the type of stock sold cars should be sold

    within a year (before new models are introduced) whereas milk should be turned over every 3-5

    days.

    The average number of days it takes for a business to convert its stock to sales To fix high STO (too slow):

    o Increase sales (i.e. advertising, better stock mix)o Decrease level of stock held (order less, just in time ordering, replace slow moving

    lines)

    Low STO (too fast):o Selling price too low leading to loss of potential revenueo Holding too little stock: Increase in delivery costs; missing out on discount revenue

    for bulk purchases

    Creditors Turnover (CTO)

    number of days

    As with Debtors Turnover, it is important to know how regularly a business is paying its Creditors.

    The money to pay Creditors generally comes from Debtors and Sales of stock. It is important for a

    business to manage its cash flow efficiently so Creditors are:

    *Paid early enough to earn discounts

    *Not threatening to cut off supply

    *Not requiring the business to regularly go into overdraft to make payments

    The average number of days it takes for a business to pay its creditors Effectiveness of managing creditors If discounts are offered, and cash is available, then it is beneficial If no discount, pay close to credit terms (pay as late as possible) retaining cash in the

    business for longer so it can be used for other purposes

    Should not exceed Credit Terms because:o Interest charges on late accountso Removal of Credit Facilitieso Reduction in Credit Rating

    Liquidity

    Liquidity ratios examine the ability of the business to generate cash flow and pay debts. The ability

    of the business to meet its short term financial commitments as they fall due. This measure relies on

    the ability of the business to generate sufficient cash flow to meet all urgent, current and long term

    debts.

    There are 4 main liquidity ratios in Unit 4:

  • 7/29/2019 AccountingUnit 4 Summary

    17/24

    17 | P a g e - A c c o u n t i n g U n i t 4 - W i l b u r

    Working Capital Ratio (WCR)

    Ratio

    Are we able to repay our short term debts? Our short term debts are our Current Liabilities they

    must be repaid within the current reporting period (12 months). To pay these debts we need to use

    our Current Assets. Consequently, our Current Assets must cover our Current Liabilities.

    However, as with many ratios it is a balancing act. Too many CA may mean we have too much tied

    up in Stock, Bank or Debtors.

    A liquidity indicator that measures the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, to assessthe firms ability to meet its short term debts

    More than 1:1 satisfactory 1:1 no margin for error if any current assets are not converted to cash, the business will

    face liquidity problems

    Less than 1:1 the owner needs to seek additional finance through:o Cash contributiono Extending Overdraft facilityo Loan

    Much greater than 1:1 suggests there are idle current assets:o Bank expand operations, term deposit/other investmentso Stock control additional storage costs , obsolescence, out of fashiono Debtors Control too many ageing debtors, bad debts

    Corrective action:o Taking extra drawings, purchase NCAo

    Lower stock levels and reorder later

    o Contact debtors and collect fundsQuick Asset Ratio

    Some of our debts are more immediate. Creditors and Accrued Expenses must be paid quickly

    (usually within 30 days). We measure our ability to pay these immediate debts by examining our

    Quick Assets those assets that can be turned into cash quickly without a great loss in value.

    Some CA cannot be turned into cash quickly. Stock and Prepaid Expenses are difficult to turn into

    cash quickly (and for their Historical Cost) so we exclude them from the calculation.

    As with WC, we dont want too many Quick Assets as it may mean we have idle cash or too many

    Debtors.

    Liquidity indicator that measures the ratio of quick assets to quick liabilities to assess thefirms ability to meet its immediate debts

    Assesses firms ability to meet its immediate debts with its immediate assets High WCR, Low QAR will it survive?

    o Depends on whether the business can sell its stock on time (speed of its tradingcycle)

    To fix low QAR:

    o Positive bank balanceo Improving debtorso Reduce level of creditors and accrued expenses

    Cash Flow Cover (CFC)

    times per period

    As mentioned in June, cash is one of the most important assets for a business. The ability to

    generate cash to pay Creditors is important because, as mentioned above, we need a constant

    supply of stock from Creditors in order to serve our customers.

    A liquidity indicator that measures the number of times Net Cash Flows from OperatingActivities is able to cover average Current Liabilities

    No set benchmark; the longer the period examined, the more times CL will be coveredStability

    Debt Ratio

    %

    What % of the business assets are financed by external sources (liabilities)?

    The higher the Debt Ratio the greater the risk for the business, the more interest will be incurred in

    the future and future cash flows are tied up in cash repayments.

    Measures % of assets financed by liabilities therefore indicates reliance on borrowed funds Measures Long term stability of the firm Assessed with ROI Balance is required high enough to maximise ROI, but low enough to maintain stability Higher Debt Ratio susceptible to interest rate hikes, decreasing cash flow and Net Profit

    Limitations of financial information

    Use of historical data cannot guarantee what will happen in the future Many indicators rely on averages, concealing details about individual items Firms use different accounting methods, undermine comparability

    Relationship between ratios

    ROI and Debt ratio ROI and ROA ROA and ATO NPM, ATO and ROA
